The burger was not fresh, and both the top and bottom buns were too soggy, which spoiled the experience for me. I'm not sure if this is common for this restaurant, but if you're looking for a quick bite, you might want to explore other options.

I would have given it a full 5 stars if it weren't for that.

It didn't live up to my expectations, especially compared to what some other reviewers have said. The Tots were okay, though slightly under-fried. Overall, I don't think I'll be returning; The Habit is better in my opinion.

There are many styles of burgers out there, often differing in the type of lettuce used and the choice of condiments. The most commonly imitated style comes from classic mom-and-pop burger joints, which typically use shredded lettuce and a mix of mayo, secret sauce, ketchup, and mustard. However, this burger stands out. It includes a whole leaf of lettuce—not shredded—and it's not from the heart of the lettuce, so it’s soft and easily rips apart, almost like paper. The burger also boasts its own unique sauce, crafted with care. Honestly, this burger reminded me of a scenario where my alternate universe mom made me a ham sandwich, but my alternate universe dad decided to grill up some burgers outside and transformed that sandwich into a gourmet burger. It truly tasted like a labor of love!

Absolutely delicious! This is hands down the best fast food burger I've ever had. The bun is perfectly buttered, and the cheese on the patty melts in your mouth... read more Absolutely delicious!
